Hi @bizi, I had bursitis in my knees for quite a while after a bad fall on them. My GP diagnosed it and only gave me a brochure describing exercises to do. As wrote, it took at least a few years for them (especially the left knee) to go back to normal, but they did. Unlike you, I didn't have to kneel on them. If you do have bursitis can you consider knee pads? The kind certain workers wear? That would be better than continuing to irritate them so much.

When I first got the knee injuries, I should have probably gone to the hospital, but didn't. My lower legs initially swelled up. We only just put ice on them. I had a black eye and scrapes and pain on my arms, too. I 100% blamed that injury on bipolar mania as I decided to run down a steep hill out of anger.
